The price would be $$ 112.50$ $$112.50$ .

So the original price is $$ 150$ $$150$ and the discount is $25 %,$ $25%,$ right?.

So just get the original price, multiply by the discount and divide by $100$ $100$ to find $25 % .$ $25%.$

$150 \times 25 % = \frac{3750}{100} = 37.50$ $150xx25%=3750/100=37.50$ .

So now that you know the amount that you saved, just subtract $37.50$ $37.50$ from $150$ $150$ :

$150 - 37.50$ $150-37.50$ and you'll get $$ 112.50$ $$112.50$ as the sale price.

$$ 112.5$ $$112.5$

The sale price can be found by using this:

Sale price = original price - sale percent $\cdot$ $*$ original price

And by substituting you get:
Sale Price= $150 - \frac{25}{100} \cdot 150$ $150-25/100*150$

Sale price = $$ 112.5$ $$112.5$

$$ 112.50$ $$112.50$

Instead of finding the amount of reduction for the sale price, we can work with the percentages.

If a discount of $25 %$ $25%$ is being given, it means that the sale price is $75 %$ $75%$ of the original price.

$100 % - 25 % = 75 %$ $100%-25% = 75%$

Find $75 %$ $75%$ of $$ 150$ $$150$

$\frac{75}{100} \times 150$ $75/100 xx 150$

$= $ 112.50$ $=$112.50$
